1t is given out from the treasury that the
profits on the purchase of S260,00O bonds
last Wendesday, at Sl.10-that Is at 10 per
cent. premium-is $685. ,725. BY what process
Of calculation the treasury experts arrive at
this conclusion is not given out.
The interest on 100000 at AZ per cent.
for one year is s$11,1 100, the bonds are due
Sept. /, 1891, so that there is four years
interest to be paid and then the principal
The interest for this four years Is $40, 800,
ard this added to the principal, $3.50, 900,
paid in 1891, would make s3O6,s0O. The
Secretary paid for these bonds 10 per cent.
premium, that is s26 900, which added to
the principal makes s2s6 900 paid now for
the bonds, which with the interest would
cost s3O6,s00 by Sept. /, 1891. This shows
an apparent profit OF S2O,s00.
But money is always worth interest.
Secretary Fnirchild recognized this in the
circular be issued proposing to pay interest
in advance and buy bonds, and he placed
the rate OF interest at 2per cent. per an
mum by requiring rebate at that rate when
he paid interest in advance. Now Let us
calculate what these bonds cost, taking the
Secretary's own rate OF interest as a basis,
and see what the profit is.
First we have 100000, the principal OF
the bonds paid four years in advance. At
per cent. the interest would be 5000 per
year for four years-that would be $50, 500.
Then there is the interest at ~ per cent.
that is $l1,iO0, due In 1891. Four years
interest on that at Q per cent. is S9}6
Then the interest due in 1890, interest for
three years, amounts to 500. The Interest
due In 1850, two years interest, amounts to
S4GS, and the interest due In 1888, one
years interest on which amounts to S23i
These sums added together make total o.
SG3, 100, and this without any compoundlng
or calculating interest on interest.
Thus II will be seen by the accompanying
table that the account stands as follows:

Does Secretary Fairchild really imagine
that the people Of the country, outside OF
his Wall street friends, are incapable OF

The Girl Graduate

The happiest creature in the world is
she girl graduate. She is very brilliant
conglomeration-the sum total of human
wisdom, the grand elimination of human
eloquence and learning, brim full of gush,
splash, dash. She dilates on the power
OF learning, and makes no effort to conceal
the fact that she has drunk deep Of the
''PIerian fount." Batching spirit of
prOphesy, it tells her that she shall live
IN marble halls on angels food Ii
tells her that life shall be one long
summer dream, and that spring bon
nets will bloom on trees. That her fu>
ture husband will be as meek as Moses,
the pink of elegance. with hair parted in
the middle, don tcher know, with waxed
mustache, my dear girl, don'tcher know, -
with patent leather shoes, so vewy
Chawmjne; don'tcher know" All of
which is quite English, don tcher know. -
But the visions fade in the clear, sharp
light of reality. The marble palace of
her dreams fades in cottage, The grand
piano materializes into a Singer sewing
machine, whose song is the song of the
shirt" The glorious rainbow melts into
clothes line. The roses of her fancy
bloom out into patches on her husbands
pants, and as the years roll on they leave
their record on two care>worn faces.

Powderly, the head of the Knights of
Labor, has written another letter upon
the subject of immigration. Like his
first, it is very forcible and plain. He
shows that the American wOrkIngman is
continually subjected to the competition
with the pauDer labor of Europe. The
manufacturer is protected by the tariff,
which acts as Chinese wall to keep out
competition. But his employe has Lo
such favor extended to him. Not only
are those who are willing to work for
less than he suffered to land here but
their coming is actually invited as if it
were something desirable Not only this.
but, in spite of the emigration in times
past, which has been so enormous that
the figures read like romance, the influx
of foreigners is still increasing wear BY
year. The immigration for the fiscal
year ending June 30 WAS more than 15O,-
900 greater than during the preceding
year Last month it WAS s., 3S4 against
"A, CAB in the corresponding month of last
year Many of these immigrants will
anquestionably make valuable citizens
Of this republic, but there are also many
far too many, indeed of whom this
cannot be said. The object of very
large proportion of the foreigners who
come here seems TO be to stir up strife
and find fault with our institutions. Who
are the ranters who rave about tyranny
and despOtism in this country? They are
almost invariably foreigners, many of
WHOM cannot even speak our language.
Who are the bomb throwers who seek to
Introduce dynamite as political argu-
ment2 All foreigners. 1t certainly seems
that the time is near at hand when some
measures to restrict immigration must be
adopted as measure of security for ma,
tive American citizens and the foreign
born citizens who are already here. 1t
should not be forgotten that this promis-
cuous and excessive immigration bears
Just as hardly upon naturalized citizens
as it does upon native born Americans.
A sentiment in favor of restricting immi-
grafton in some manner not yet deter
mined on, as mere matter of self pro-
lection. is RAPIDLY growing up and will
surely make itself heard before long.

salon relating 10 certain charges that the de-

the acreage of tobacco. which estimate has
kept prices down, to the detriment of the
American dealer, Statistician Dodge, of the
department, said the acreage stated was more
likely 10 be too little than too much, as there
was tax of S cents pound on the product,
and farmers did not like to give the correct
figures. He was satisfied that thedepartment
had as good facilities for ascertainiug the cor
rect state of affairs as private persons or
newspapers, and that was true also of the
| other crops, hotably the wheat crop. Some
of the spectators who had been victims in
the Chicago wheat deal had written to him
ito say that the wheat crop in the northwest
must have been much larger than the depart
ment estimates. 1t came into Chicago in
much larger quantities than the SPECTATORS
had expected, and at last they could not COM
mand enough money to buy it all up, and so
they had to collapse To buy up all the
wheat IN the northwest was too big job for
the syndicate who undertook it. The wheat
crop of the northwest amounts to hundreds Of
millions of bushels, and those who undertook
to buy it all up were swamped whenever
5,OO,0OO or 4,010, 900 bushels came in with
unexpected rapiditv We are always receiv-
